Swollen Lymph node
I have a swollen lymph node that's been under my arm for the past 6 weeks. It's painless and feels about the size of half a lime. It pretty much popped up overnight and I'm sure that I have no other swellings anywhere else.
The hiv board considers "my risk" non existant so I am fishing for another diagnosis.
Can anyone give me any ideas?

Lymph nodes increase when fighting anything off. If you have no other symptoms I wouldn't worry about it. Due to the size if it is a hard lump not spongy you should see a doctor to make sure it is benign. Otherwise, it is normal to have lymph nodes come and go with infections.
